Hart Intercivic eSlate machines switch votes and malfunction in many states

[philb]

Tarrant County. Vote-switching. Some voters said they selected gubernatorial candidate Democrat Bell and the eSlate machine switched their vote to Republican Perry. The eSlate is not a touch screen machine. http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6815

Medina County. Tx, 420 people lost the opportunity to vote in the US Senate race, which was "inadvertently omitted" from some ballots (presumably on the eSlate). http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6818

Kentucky: Scott, Woodford, Bourbon, Boyle, Bullitt, Daviess, Grant and Nelson Counties. Trouble combining totals from the old Danaher 1242 machines and the new Hart InterCivic eSlate machines caused problems and long hours for officials. http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6804

Calloway County. Vote-switching on the review screen of the Hart InterCivic eSlate. Straight-ticket Democratic votes were switched to Republicans in all the contested races.

Kentucky House Speaker Jody Richards yesterday called the new electronic voting machines "horrible." & Vote-switching on the Hart InterCivic eSlate e-voting machine

San Patricio County. Workers had to tally votes by hand because some ballots were three pages long and machines were only designed to handle two pages. "When those workers were done, they had to start all over because they realized they had tabulated the straight party ballots incorrectly." http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6818

Orange County. eSlate voting machines in over 30 heavily Democratic precincts are not working and at most of these locations there are no paper ballots available as backups. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-young/voting-fraud-alert-or_b_33525.html


Lancaster County. Undefined malfunctions of eSlate machines, voter confusion over how to use them. http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6737

Harris County (Houston). Three of the seven E-Slate voting machines at Lockhart Elementary school weren't working properly since the polls opened at 7 a.m. Two were inactive, one was "misnumbering itself." Technicians arrived 2-1/2 hours later. http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6743

Calloway County, Kentucky, A professor at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky (Calloway County) used the eSlate in early voting and reports that his Democratic straight-party votes were switched to the Republican party in contested races:

another unreliable option; who chose these and why?

2. Hart InterCivic eSlate chops off the last part of candidate names on the review screen

Travis County (Austin). Hart InterCivic eSlate chops off the last part of candidate names on the review screen. This is the same problem that occurred on the machines in Virginia. http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6677

Alexandria, Falls Church, and Charlottesville. The review page on the Hart InterCivic eSlate (electronic voting machine) cuts off the last part of the candidates' names, as well as their party affiliation. Same problem occurred last year. http://www.votersunite.org/article.asp?id=6662

3. Computer Scientist: Touch screen switching not due to calibration problems

Computer Scientist: Touch screen switching not due to calibration problems

Douglas Jones, a computer scientist at the University of Iowa, says he's heard similar stories from voters in several states, including one computer scientist in South Carolina who said that his attempts to vote for one candidate on the iVotronic were repeatedly changed to an opposing candidate by the time he got to the voter verification screen."

Officials normally explain the vote-flipping as calibration errors — touches on the screen are simply registering incorrectly They point to the 15-step process that poll workers can do to re-calibrate the screen. But vote-flipping on the eSlate can't be explained as a calibration error, since the eSlate doesn't have a touch screen. Voters use physical dials and buttons to move the highlight on the screen and make their selections.
